In the somewhat apprehensive waiting of the recruits, the day of boarding finally arrived.

There is no such solemn ceremony as imagined, because all the warships that need to be replenished actually have their own tasks, and the world is a vast sea, and it is possible to go to sea for several months at a time, and it is impossible to gather them all together and hold a grand ceremony.

But in addition to Eugene, the Third Fleet sent a civilian lieutenant colonel officer who was responsible for sending each batch of recruits onto the ship as a sign of attention.

The boarding plan came first and later, and the warships stationed in the country continued to wait anxiously for those who had not yet returned to port. In fact, most of these recruits start with small sixth-class warships such as dhows, unless they perform particularly well during the recruit training period.

Of course, if you are the son of a powerful person or a high-achieving student who graduated from the Royal Naval College, it is a different matter.

It wasn't until a week after the boarding activities began that Evan was directly awarded the rank of warrant officer (alternate officer) as the first comprehensive training performance among this group of recruits, and entered the combat sequence and embarked on the "Silver Wing" cruiser.

Evan also knew that without the Viscount's letter of introduction, things wouldn't have been so simple. Because most of the alternate officers on the ship are after the powerful or graduates of academies, ordinary civilian recruits want this status, and no matter how strong their ability is, they must first survive in the waves of the sea for two years.

Unlike most of the sailors of the same period who boarded the sixth-class communication ships, the Silverwing belonged to the fifth-class cruisers. With a total length of 45 meters and 40 guns, it is also one of the main warships of the "privateer fleet" that exists tacitly in all countries. The capacity is 250 people, but the actual capacity is less than 200 people.

Among the six ranks of warships in the Navy, the first four are battleships, the full name of which is "main battle line combat ships", which belong to the main battle units that are qualified to participate in large-scale fleet naval battles.

Although the Silver Wing was not up to the level of a battleship, it was only below the battleship. But since Eugene solemnly said that he was in charge of the arrangement, the peculiarities of this battleship naturally did not stop there, to be precise, the captain of the Silver Wing, Colonel Gehr, was more than that.

Colonel Gehr was not only a powerful veteran knight, but also a former captain of a fourth-class battleship. It was only because the original battleship was seriously damaged during the battle (in fact, this is only an official statement, and the real reason is inconvenient to explain to the public), the battleship was returned to the factory for overhaul, and the Third Fleet did not have a temporary replacement of the fourth-class battleship, so it deigned to temporarily use the fifth-class ship.

Otherwise, in normal times, it would not be so easy to send Aven directly to the fourth-level ship as an officer candidate.

In addition, Evan was a little familiar with Colonel Gehr that Eugene talked about, but he didn't think much about it, after all, there are many people with the same name and surname in the world, and it is normal to meet a familiar name.

When Evan carried his bag and took Gary to board the Silverwing, he found that among the thirty soldiers in his group of replenishment of the Silverwing, only himself and Gary were recruits, and the other twenty-eight were veterans drawn from the sixth-level communication ship.

They are said to be "veterans", but they are not very old, the oldest is probably twenty years old, but they have been at sea for a long time, and they look much older than their actual age.

This group of veterans looked at Evan and Gary with a little subtle vision, and they didn't dare to make big moves, but they faintly excluded the two of them from the big team. There is a tradition of veterans bullying recruits in any world, not to mention that the opportunity that he only got after many years of service was easily obtained by two newcomers, so he was naturally unbalanced.

However, the two of them are not afraid at all, not to mention that Aven, the peak trainee knight, or Gary, a newcomer who has just embarked on the road to transcendence, can beat them.

Because Captain Gehr had already gone to the naval base to report on his duties after the ship docked, the recruits did not have the opportunity to meet His Excellency the captain for the time being. So after a brief handover between Eugene and the Silverwing, the recruits were led by the old crew of the Silverwing to their respective cabins to settle down.

Aven's cabin was at the front of the ship, a separate room for the ship's officers and alternate officers, and the conditions were much better than the common cabins where the crew was crammed into the lower cabins.

Although Evan is not a person who cannot endure hardship, but thinking about the scene of dozens or hundreds of big men who may not take a shower for months and stinky together, Evan is very grateful to Viscount Andrea and Major Eugene.

But Evan was visibly overjoyed. He was happy with the environment on his side, but not necessarily on Gary's side.

To be honest, Evan had already expected this situation, but he didn't expect the conflict to come so quickly!

Major Eugene was able to send Gary with him for the sake of his gifted face, but he didn't have the ability to give him a warrant officer rank, and as a matter of course, he went to the same cabin as the "veterans" who were newly on the ship.

The cause doesn't matter, as long as you want to find fault, even an honest person like Gary in the eyes of Evan can be easily stirred up.

"Beat him up and let this kid know who has the final say in the boat in the future. ”

"If you dare to be disobedient, you can sleep with everyone's toilet in the future!"

"It's just a new recruit, and you were still nursing when we fought the pirates. ”

It is normal for veterans to bully recruits, and usually recruits, as the weaker side, are often also the losers. But in this world it is different, they choose the wrong target of bullying!

As a group of people pushed each other onto the deck, Aven, who heard the noise, also stepped out. But he didn't directly step forward to support Gary, leaning on the door of the aisle to see the results of Gary's training during this time.

Most of the crew members of the Silver Wing had already disembarked and gone to the bustling city of Gabrid to relax in addition to the necessary personnel who had arrived at the port today, and the sailors who stayed behind saw this scene and gathered together in groups of three or five with great interest.

Looking at the group of veterans surrounding him, Gary smiled indifferently: "Don't talk nonsense, fight! If I lose, I will naturally listen to you, and if I win, you will have to listen to me." ”

Aiwen's "training" not only includes swordsmanship, but also has more character and concepts, and Gary, who is now more confident in strength, will not be afraid of any peer except Aiwen.

"Hahaha, is this recruit crazy and crazy? Do you think that you are tall and big, and the recruits think they are invincible in the world after a few days of training and learning swordsmanship?"

"Let him taste the power of us veterans. ”

"Yes, yes, it's better to suffer a little now than to eat lead bullet for pirates in the future, and this kid will thank us. ”

This group of veterans is obviously divided into several small groups and does not have a unified leadership, but the opinion is very agreeable, just to give this boy who does not know the height of the sky a little bitter.

A sturdy young man walked out and threw his saber to his companion: "Let me come." "When we boarded the ship, the weapons in everyone's hands were real people. Although he was ready to fight, no one had the courage to use a knife.

After speaking, without waiting for others to react, he put on a posture and rushed directly to Gary. A group of veterans pulled away slightly, ready to admire how the veterans tortured the recruits.

"Drink! Punch me!"

"Bang!"

It's just that this guy went fast and came back faster, and as soon as his fist was halfway through, Gary kicked back with a "bang" and slammed into the crowd of onlookers.

"Ahh

When the stout young man's companions lifted him up, another man rushed forward.

"I'll teach him a lesson. ”

"Bang!"

Another kick.

“...”

Gary had never been trained by the knight's breathing method at the beginning, and his natural physique was as high as 0.7, so how could it be that these ordinary people with the highest physique of only 0.5 could compete with now?

Just imagine, the first mate of the Blood Anchor, who had a physique of only 0.6 agility and a maximum of 0.7, was unstoppable on the Yellow Bird. Gary is no worse than him right now.

"Let's go up together, avenge the brethren!" I don't know who in the crowd shouted, and all of them rushed forward.

"Jealousy is indeed one of the original sins!" Seeing this, Evan sighed softly and took off his sword, and rushed forward as well.
